around february 19 2011, there was a discussion about to limit ssh 
environment variables not including some windows ones !

since then, I use the attached script in /etc/profile.d to set the 
missing ones at connection time...

you may comment the lines containing SECONDS.

it's based on Kurt Franke's similar script in the idea.

PS : Corinna, maybe this may be made a FAQ ?
